The Calgary Police Service has identified the victim of a suspicious weekend death in a northeast neighbourhood and say his death is now considered a homicide.
An autopsy confirmed that 58-year-old Ali Shaiet was the man found dead on Sunday in a home in the 2000 block of 65th Street Northeast, in the community of Pineridge.
